    These bad boys arrived from the printers today - a These bad boys arrived from the printers today - a sample run before the full print run. 

Feels unbelievably surreal. 

Do not ever give up on your dreams.
    Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼 I would not be Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼

I would not be where I am today if it were not for my marriage. I understand that’s a bold statement. 

And here’s why I say that…

👉🏼Tina loves and accepts me for who I am, flaws and all. As someone who struggles with ADHD, compassion for your partner is priority #1. There are many struggles that I have, but she knows them and has never held them against me, in fact, she actively works to help me in the area which I struggle with such as focus, memory, planning and prioritisation. 

👉🏼 We both invest time and energy in our marriage. Here’s the thing, a relationship is never static. You have to invest in it everyday. To love openly and without judgement. To communicate frequently and in depth. We know exactly what is going on in each other’s lives because we truly care about each other, understanding that we each bring our own selves to the relationship. I want her to grow and develop in her own personal goals. 

👉🏼 We are each other’s biggest cheerleaders. I want to see her achieve massive success and she does the same for me. We may not agree with everything we are investing time in. But we have to allow ourselves to make our own mistakes and to learn from them. But we do this with an unrelenting desire for the other to win. And celebrating big when we do. I always buy a bottle of bubbly when she achieves her goals. 

If you have the right person by your side, never ever take them for granted. Having someone by your side who loves and supports you is the biggest blessing there is to life.

    Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼 How many times Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼

How many times in the last week have you felt completely overwhelmed with what life is throwing at you? 

It can get exhausting feeling like you are at the mercy of the head and tailwinds of life. 

Feeling as though you have been dealt an unfair hand. 

Or that you never seem to catch a break. 

Here’s the truth, sometimes you can’t change what is happening to you. 

But you can change how you perceive those situations. 

Nothing is ever negative or positive. 

It just is. 

We are the ones who give any experience meaning. 

We are also the ones who are able to change the script in our lives. 

Because you are the author of your life. 

You can make all the decisions, create or follow whatever paths you choose and mould yourself into whoever you want to be. 

Life is yours for the taking; it will bend to suit whichever path is chosen by its fearless leader: YOU!

And it’s never to late to decide to change the ending to that script. 

How are you choosing to live today?

    Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼 Looking back, Mind-SHIFT Monday 👇🏼👇🏼

Looking back, some of my toughest days, weeks, and years, have been the experiences that have shaped me into the man that I am today. 

Those experiences broke me…

👉🏼 Mentally
👉🏼 Physically
👉🏼 Emotionally 

But, they defined me. 

I am who I am today, because of them. 

So, I cannot hate those experiences, because they are a part of my story. 

And, the most important thing, is that I am still here. 

And my story is now helping people around the world. 

Sometimes, the best thing that can happen to a person is for everything around them to shatter. 

This isn't always because of something bad or negative. 

In many cases, struggles in life are what allow people to grow and thrive rather than hiding behind some facade or other which prevents them from exploring their true potential and purpose as an individual on this planet. 

Sometimes things fall apart so they can be put back together better than before with new insights gained by having gone through all of those difficulties along the way - sometimes even more courageous for it.

How can you redefine your past story into a more empowering one? 

Decide to do it.

    One of my favourite books is ‘Man’s search for One of my favourite books is ‘Man’s search for meaning’ by Viktor Frankl. 

Frankl is a holocaust survivor and endured 3 years of living in 4 different concentration camps during WWII.

In this book, which was written while he was in the concentration camps, Frankl articulates that the greatest power we have as human beings is our power to choose. 

In other words, regardless of the environment we are living in, or the conditions we are facing, every human being has the conscious ability to choose: 

👉🏼 Hope or despair
👉🏼 Happiness or sorrow
👉🏼 Empowerment or victim-hood. 

Frankl talks a lot about how important it is for every individual to understand their personal “why” in life. 

He gives the example that prisoners that were most likely to live, were the ones who knew that there was a task waiting for them to fulfil in their lives once they survived. 

Without purpose, those individuals lost the will to live. 

For Frankl, at the time, it was his unrelenting desire to finish his personal manuscripts and perhaps reunite with his family.

If you haven’t found your true purpose, cultivate it by trying as many different things as possible. 

You didn’t lose it, you simply need to reconnect with it.
    #thankfulthursday They say the most important de #thankfulthursday 

They say the most important decision you make in life is choosing your life partner. 

I wholeheartedly agree with this. 

I would not be where I am today without her. 

She is my wife, the mother of our two beautiful boys and my best friend,

And she knows me better than anyone (and probably more than I know myself). 

I cannot imagine my life without this beautiful soul. 

After more than a decade together, she still lights my heart on fire. 

Some of the things I absolutely love about her is her kindness, compassion, and radiant smile. 

She is also a driven businesswoman and her passion, drive, determination and focus are traits I would love our boys to have one day. 

My world is so much better with her in it.
